“Great ideas were born, while sharing a bottle of Prosecco di Valdobbiadene”

.

Some months ago, two Instagram-addict friends, while sharing a bottle of “Prosecco di Valdobbiadene”, were talking about how great it would be to have unique jewels with Instagram pictures printed on them. It happens that these Instagram-addict friends are a jewelry designer and an electronic engineer, software programmer. Put that together and… some months later JewelGram was born.

Jewelgram explained in detail

.

The idea is simple: your favourite Instagram pictures printed on rings and pendants.

.

Michele Marzotto, jewelry designer and owner ofAtelier Forma Design, designs the jewels using simple and modern shapes to obtain comfortable rings and pendants capable to host pictures in high resolution (600 dpi). Gianpiero Riva, electronic engineer and software programmer, managed the development of the site JewelGram where you can see the entire collection of rings and pendants made with plastic materials, but also in silver and gold. The pictures are printed with the dye-sublimation printing technique that provides a great photographic-like result on the surface of the jewels. At the moment Jewelgram provides for purchasing Inkwell Rings (silver rings), Kelvin Rings (gold rings), Inkwell Pendants (silver pendants) and Kelvin Pendants (gold pendants) but in December it will be possible to pre-order any jewel already shown on the website.

Accessing the “Play” section on the JewelGram website, it’s possible to join the JewelGram Photo-challenge, a monthly photo-selection that gives you the chance to win a stunning silver JewelGram Ring. It’s very simple: clicking on “Play” the site will ask you to “Sign in with your Instagram account”. Then choose one of your favourite pictures that will be used to compose the MagicPic, a simulation of a JewelGram ring with your picture printed on it. You will receive the MagicPic via email; post it on your Instagram feed and tag it with #jewelgram.
